Federal Sentencing and Post-Conviction Law Firm
Prison designation, transfers, disciplinary matters, and other problems
Department of Justice statistics indicate that 93.6 percent of federal criminal cases result in a guilty plea, 75.6 percent of the defendants who go to trial are convicted, and 82.8 percent of those convicted received a prison term. For many federal criminal defendants where they do their time is as important as how much time they’ll do.
The Law Offices of Alan Ellis assists convicted defendants in obtaining designation and placement to the most favorable prison available as close to their home as possible. The firm utilizes the services of a former Bureau of Prisons Regional Designator in attempting to achieve this result.
During their incarceration, inmates often want to be transferred to another prison facility. With the help of its federal prison consultant, the firm attempts to help defendants achieve this goal.
Also, while incarcerated, inmates may find themselves in trouble with Bureau of Prisons authorities. The firm counsels these individuals on how to avoid these problems and when this is unavoidable, how to respond to charges that are brought against them.
From time to time inmates experience other problems such as medical issues which have not been adequately treated, sentence computation errors, halfway house placement., etc. The firm helps inmates with these problems.
The law firm limits its practice exclusively to representing federal criminal defendants in plea negotiations, sentencing representation and consultation, Rule 35, prison designation, transfers, disciplinary matters and other problems, direct criminal appeals, Section 2255 motions, habeas corpus petitions and other post conviction remedies, Supreme Court practice, parole representation, and international prisoner treaty transfer work for foreign inmates and Americans arrested abroad. Its goal is to secure for its clients the lowest possible sentence, and if it is one of incarceration, to be served at the best possible facility, with release at the earliest opportunity.
